  • At first, being very unfit, I was a bit daunted about going along but the instructors are brilliant and adjust the exercises slightly so I can fully participate and build up my ability. 10/10 a little gem.

  • Love classes at Core and Flow, the best studio and instructors! Been coming to Isla for a long time and she always makes you feel welcome and comfortable.

  • I remember feeling really nervous before I went to my first class but I really shouldn’t have worried - such a welcoming place full of genuinely lovely nice normal people! If you’re thinking about it, go for it!

  • Brilliant Pilates studio with wonderful teachers who kindly adapt the exercises for me due to a hip replacement and other injuries. The classes are tough but fun and I feel stronger every week. Highly recommend.

  • I have recently done 2 beginners Reformer pilates classes with Core & Flow, with different teachers. I have never done Reformer before. Both teachers were very thorough making sure I, and other new people, knew how to use the equipment, and checking for injuries they should know about. The studio is spotlessly clean. The equipment looks very new. The other people in the class were all very friendly. I enjoyed the classes and really felt a benefit, so I have signed up for membership. I'm looking forward to my next class!t Item

  • Core & Flow has been a lifeline during my post-partum journey. Not only have I re-built my strength physically through the experienced and excellent teaching, it has also been the most amazing safe and supportive environment which I look forward to every week. I originally thought it might be intimidating as a beginner, but the studio is full of the most caring, kind teachers where everyone is able to go at their own pace, but still feel pushed each week. I’m officially hooked on Reformer!

  • Lovely small and welcoming reformer pilates studio. The instructors are always willing to adapt the exercises for any injuries, pregnancy or varied abilities.

  • I joined reformer Pilates at Core & Flow a year ago and have had an amazing experience at both their Chingford and Epping locations. The instructors are all so knowledgable, friendly, professional and accommodating. The locations are great with lots of parking. The equipment they have is top quality and I’ve seen a few other venues for reformers that are no match in terms of equipment and instructors to Core & Flow. I also carried on going up to 6 months of being pregnant and found the instructors great at knowing what exercises I should do and adjusting others. Thanks you so much!

Our story

From 6 mats & 1 reformer to over 15,000 hours taught, Core & Flow was born in 2021, created & nurtured by Isla, with a first studio in Loughton, Essex.

We quickly grew a community of pilates lovers, many of whom are still clients 4 years on & in 2024 expanded our offering to open two new studios in Chingford & Epping.

Now with our third studio in Guisborough, we’re excited to bring that same Core & Community to North Yorkshire, where Isla has recently relocated to.

Our Core & Family has now grown to a team of 10 & offers over 100 classes a week, as well as pilates education from our Core & Academy offering.
